A few things I learned on the process:- plan for 4-6 weeks for the unit to be approved by CHA, after you found a prospective, approved, tenant- if the tenant has children, be prepared for a stricter inspection (in particular regarding paint)- you can screen tenants the same way you would screen regular tenants, except for the income part- cashflow is normally better.  

But again, no CHA is junk housing in my area.

She bought a single-family home with an additional unit in the basement that is not an official/permitted unit.The house was already rented to Section 8 tenants (both units) when she bought the property, and it went through yearly city CHA inspections.

Everyone wants CHA these days where I am. 

i had a property in back of the yards where my taxes were $800. i had a CHA tenant but never even applied for abatement because it would’ve been like $200.i’m looking to place one in a B neighborhood now where i’d save thousands

Cha-Ching.Get in touch with Steph, too.  

@Cha...

Three out of the four units are section 8 CHA tenants, so the rent is on time each month, but we have to do an inspection every two years.What is the condition of the property you are looking at?

Cha cha do it again :)  

Is this a 2 bedroom apartment that is currently being leased (in the eyes of the CHA) as a 1 bedroom apartment?
